Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, hope, and strength. Brother and sister, we are at New Year's Eve and whatever your time zone is around the world. We are just going to start to pray. We are breaking in to New Year's Eve. May the Spirit of the Living God be with you wherever you are in the beautiful name of Jesus Christ. We're
going to pray. And we're going to the subject that we're going to pray for is letting go of the past year. Letting go of the past year. Father, in the name of Jesus, we bring each and every one of us before you. And we pray, dear God, for an outpouring of the Spirit of the Living God. And Lord, as we come to the cross at this hour, Lord, at these early doors of this day, Lord, as the sun rises, as the sun sets, Lord, we believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. But Lord, I want to say thank you to every listener right now. Lord, as we are standing, dear God, at the beginning of new beginnings. Father, I thank you that the love of God is so strong and so powerful over our lives. And Lord, we are going to let go of the past year. Lord, we're going to leave the suitcases. Lord, we want you to cut that rucksack off of our back, Lord. And we want freedom. Lord, whatever our time zone is at this moment in time, Father, we love you and we bless you right now. But Lord, we want
freedom, complete freedom in the name of Jesus Christ. And Lord, we believe in Isaiah 43 verse 18. Forget the former things. Do not dwell in the past. Lord, I thank you that we are not dwelling in the past. But right now, Lord, as this New Year's Eve starts to spring out, Father, we come to you right now in the name of Jesus. On Wednesday, the 31st of December, we pray that we will leave the rucksack of life. We will leave the baggage of life. We will leave the suitcases of life. We will leave them at the cross of Calvary. And today, Lord, we pray for this 24-hour cycle, dear God, before we break into New Year's Day, Lord, the 1st of January. We pray for serious, dear God, consecration. That we come to you right now. And Lord, that we will give you our lives. Lord, that we will not wait for the strike of 12 o'clock. But Lord, we will come to you right now in the name of Jesus and say, Father, take my life. Lord, take my life, dear God. Lord, help me, mould me, shape me into the person that you need me to be. But Father, we believe that we are going to forget the former things. And dear God, we're not going to dwell in the past. Lord, not only do we hold on to Isaiah 43, verse 18, Lord, we come to you in the beautiful book of Philippians 3. Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead. Father, I pray that we forget what is behind each and every one of us and we press on to what is ahead. And at this midnight hour, at
these early doors of this day, Father, on this New Year's Eve, God, we invite every one of us to come around the throne of grace. Lord, we believe in new beginnings. Father, tonight, at this hour, Lord, we pray that we will find the release of the burden of carrying everything right up to the door of New Year's Day. Lord, we want this to go. Lord, every disappointment, every regret, every failure, every unhealed moment of our lives. Lord, we pray right up to now, Lord, that we will feel the love of Jesus Christ and we will leave everything at the foot of the cross of Calvary. And Lord, we love you and we bless you. But today, Lord, we believe in miracles. Will you cleanse us by the blood of Jesus? Lord, will you help us to make that leap of faith, dear God, into a new 2026? Father, we believe as we leave 25 and as we move into 26, Lord, the former things have gone and the new things are here. So Lord, we pray for such an outpouring of your spirit. Lord, let's leave everything, dear God, the disappointments, the emotional hurts, dear God, the pain, the abuse, the fears, the doubts, everything, dear God, of 25. Help us to leave it at the cross of Calvary. And Lord, we love
you and we bless you. And I pray, Lord, that you will bless the listeners from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet, that they will realize wherever they are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, that the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit is over their lives. Be blessed. We are about to cross over extremely soon. Thank you for praying with us today. Thank you for praying with us on this New Year's Eve. May the Spirit of the Living God be with you, and may the peace of God settle in your heart and free you from 2025. God bless you. Until tomorrow, never give up.
